Robert G. IngersOll defended a man
in Morristown, N. j., last week who
had been prosecuted for blasphemy.
All the infidel's rhetorical power
amounted to nothing, however, and
his client was fined $25. The judge
in his charge said that the blasphemy
must be malicious, and not for the sake
of prOmulgating honest opinions. 1t is
said that Mr.. Ingersoll by agreement
was compelled to pay the fine himself
and that during his ranting the jury
did not attempt to conceal their dis
gust at his talk. Mr.. Ingersoll does
not seem to be filling any long felt
want in this age.

A Little too sanguine.
Manchester Mirror.

Senator Morrill, says the republican
party is in fine condition and can elect
either Sherman, Blaine or Allison
president next year. That may be so,
but as the sailor said after he had
heard the Uniyersalist clergyman de-
clare that everybody would be saved
at last, "we will give S5 to warrant
it," The republican party is in fair
condition and has fair chance to elect
its best man next time; but there are
weak spots all along the line, and the
notion that it can elect any good man
is nonsense.

have been a case of suicide as he was

Mayor Hewitt is a Democrat of long
standing, and certainly of as much prae-
but ne puncI1res INC nSesiaene's mes
sage IN one OF its weakest points wifer
he remarks that the wage earners of this
country are not forced to part with any
considerable part of their earnings in
consequence of the higher rates of duty
on which they buy, and that the cost of
living in America is at the present time
lower than in any other civilized coun-
try. He adds that while farmers do pay
an enhanced cost upon their tools and
other supplies, they receive compensa-
ton in the general diffusions of manu-
features throughout the countrywide
ton Journal.
A tariff agitation, so heralded, means
at this time the paralysis of trade. 1t is
a warning to wooden and cotton and iron
manufacturers to go slow, lest they find
themselves burdened with stock OF
goods that, in the face of foreign compe-
tition under low tariff, must be sold
for less than the cost of production. II
is a warning to real estate owners and
spectators to postpone building until
they find just how the action of Congress
is going to affect the price of lumber and
iron. 1t is warning to business men
in every department of industry to keep
their hands off from obligations and
enterprises which the action of Congress
may render fraught with disaster. And
the loss resulting from such a stagna.
ton of business as tariff agitation at
this time, on the line laid down by the
President, is almost certain to produce
will amount to more, and fall far more
heavily upon the people than all the dis
aster that could possibly accrue from
the presence of surplus in the Treas
ury.-Brooklyn Times
There would be a quick and certain
solution of the difficulty by repeal of
internal revenue taxation but the Pres
ident is hostile to such repeal, and de-
cideS for his party the vexed question of
what some of the neceSSarieS of life are
and are not. Many of the Democrats of
North Carolina and Virginia, for exam
pie, may take issue with him. 1t is
manifest that, in the Presidents opinion,
the tariff on foreign imports must bear
the burden of assault. He has sprung
the whole controversy of whether the
tariff does or does not increase the prlce
to the consumer. That challenge will,
no doubt, be promptly accepted in and
out of Congress. The advocates of pro-
lection of American industry and Amer
lean labor will have potent arguments TO
demonstrate that competition at home
and abroad has been of inestimable ben
eft to our people as producers, consum-
dlfhcult to show that the whole oIiestioD
is one of labor and wages, and that a
Democratic Ginning in with the English
policy of John Bright is the reversal of
the maxim of first finding out what your
enemy wants and then refusing to give
1t to him.-Balttnaore american.

Chicago, its magnificent hall and hotel

Senator Edmunds answers a host OF
free-trade sophistries, including the
crude rehash of stale theories in Presi-
dent Cleveland's message, when e says
on remember that the tax on TEA and
coffee was taken off some time ago, and
what was the result? The income from
these products was withdrawn from the
treasury, but the prices of tea and coffee
remained as high as ever. The importers
made the extra profit, and we lost the
taxes" The notion that the removal OF
tariff duties inevitably results in gain to
the consumer is one of the most glaring
of hoary-headed free-trade fallacies. 1t
has been exposed again and again, and
it is simply astounding that the chief
magistrate of this great nation should
re-assert it without qualification.
